Thank you everyone for your reviews, your feedback means a lot to me but missed Fan club, Crazy for Abhi, Daddy's boy official and some more people last time. Hoping to see them back…

And yarr meine Abhi ke saamne isliye disclose nahi kiya truth kyuki abhi ek FB baaki hai jo ki aage hoga aur tabhi usko sach maloom chalega…

Long chapter again, I hope you'll like it…

Chapter 33

ACP entered the room but stopped in extreme shock seeing Shivani standing near the almirah reading the DNA file…

ACP in a shocking whisper: Shivani!

Shivani looked at him with full red-teary eyes and asked in chocking voice due to sobs: Yeh sa..sach hai ?

ACP bowed his head down but tried to make her understand saying in soft voice: Shivani dekho…

Shivani shouting in tears: Yeh sach hai ya nahi Pradyuman ?

ACP feared her reaction and immediately locked the room so that their voices couldn't reach outside and fell in the ears of Abhijeet…

He after closing the door properly turned and looked at her who was having a completely wet face due to tears and just looking at him with hurt and painful eyes. ACP instantly averted his gaze knowing he had really hurt her and now when she knows the truth, he has missed his chance to justify himself.

ACP after a moment took a step towards her trying: Shivani baat suno meri…mein

Shivani harshly threw the file on the floor and interrupted angrily with unstoppable tears flowing through her eyes: Kya sunu mein ( came towards him fastly and held his collar with anger ) kisne aapko hakk diya ki mujhse itni badi baat chupa sake aap ( in moist tone ) ek maa pe bhi taras nahi aaya aapko jo har raat apne bachche ko yaad karke roti hai ( ACP looked down with teary eyes while she continued in crying and the grip on his collar loosened ) aapko teen din se yeh sach maloom hai aur…

She stops as her voice choked and she just fell on her knees with a thud while crying really harshly…she felt she had lost the power of understanding anything and her mind just reminding the most dreadful instance of the life…

Flashback:

Everyone was standing in the corridor lost while ACP was blankly sitting on the floor seeming as if his orbs were out of stock for tears and now just starring at the picture showing the blood dipped body of his baby…

A painful stillness prevailed in the surrounding while everyone in their own aching-quietude state and no one dared to step forward and console the father as none had any vocable to pacify him.

All of a sudden, a well-recognized loud voice having heaps of panic, anxiety, and fright was heard from the ICU resulting in everyone shared an edgy glance…

DCP in tension: Shivani ko hosh aa gaya…

Ajeet worriedly: Tina tumne sedative nahi dilwaya kya ma'am ko ?

Tina in moist tone: Sir strong dose dilwaya tha lekin doctor ne bataya uska mind bahot zyada restless hai aur zyada sedative se health pe bura asar hoga…

Everyone sighed painfully and looked at ACP who was still in the same posture…

Finally, Salunkhe came forward and knelt down beside him and put a hand on his shoulder…

Salunkhe in low-soft tone: Boss Shivani bhabhi ko hosh aa gaya hai tum ( he downed his head in hurt as ACP looked at him with blank eyes )

ACP in blank-lost tone: Kya karu mein…kya bolunga usse ?

Inside the ICU,

Shivani was continuously trying to free herself and sit on the bed while the nurse trying to stop her…

Nurse in tension while trying to put her oxygen mask back: Ma'am aap please abhi itna panic matt hoiye…mein doctor ko bula rahi hu

Shivani jerking the oxygen mask said in anger clearily reflecting the fright: Mera bachcha kaha hai usse lekar aao pehele mujhe usse dekhna hai…

Nurse trying to control: Ma'am aapke husband bahar hai mein unhe…

She stops in tension as Shivani without listening anything further just got down from the bed jerking all the drips attached to her and ran out in hurry. Nurse too followed in tension while trying to stop her.

The door of the ICU gaped by Shivani and she came out. Everyone got shocked seeing her there in that condition looking so much panicked and tensed.

Shivani looked around at the people when saw ACP sir sitting on the floor in a blank state. She felt her heart fear stricken and her mind just trying to block the negative thoughts…

Tina approaching her in scare and tension: Shivani tu..tum bahar kyu aagayi aise…ander chalo abhi rest

Shivani interrupted in fear: Tina yeh A..ACP sahab aise kyu beithe hai haan aur ( looked around in panic ) Abhi kaha hai

Tina bowed her head down with teary eyes while Shivani glanced at everyone for an answer but they too looked down…

luka chupi bahut hui samne aa jana

kaha kaha dhunda tujhe thak gayi hai ab teri maa

Shivani in tension and fear instantly went towards ACP sir and kneeling down jerked him: ACP sahab kya hua hai aapko ( in absent-minded happy tone ) aap Abhi ke saath khelne ke liye jaldi aa gaye hai na ( Moisture appeared in ACP's eyes while she added laughing a bit ) mujhe maloom tha aap aisa hi karenge ( looked around absent-minded smile ) kaha hai voh dikh hi nahi raha ( in disgust ) uss gunde ne usko kitni buri tarah pakda tha…kitna ro raha tha humara Abhi ( tears fell from ACP's eyes while she asked in worry ) Koi chot to nahi lagi na usko ?

aaja sanjh hui mujhe teri fikar

dhundhla gayi dekh meri najar aa jana

Seeing ACP not answering anything she shook him again and held his hand : ACP sahab kya hua hai aapko bataiye na kaha hai humara Abhi ( pulling his hand a bit said in concern ) chaliye hum ghar chalte hai apne… Abhi pareshan ho raha hoga yaha pe…( seeing ACP still not reacting she said in irritation ) ACP sahab kaha par hai Abhi aap usse ghar chodd aaye kya ?

She then noticed the small t-shirt lying on the floor beside him and instantly picked it up in shock: Ye..yeh to Abhi ( stood up and looked around in panic ) yeh mere Abhi ki tshirt hai ( went towards Tina and asked innocently in a panic ) Tina yeh dekh yeh mere Abhi ki tshirt hai…it..itna khoon kaise hai ispe aur mera Abhi kaha hai haan ?

aaja sanjh hui mujhe teri fikar

dhundhla gayi dekh meri najar aa jana

Seeing no one answering anything she asked aloud in a moist-angry tone: Kidhar hai mera bachcha… koi bata kyu nahi raha mujhe ( in teary tone ) usko pareshani ho rahi hogi mere bina…

ACP looked at her in pain and stood up seeing her condition and walking up to her held her from shoulders saying in a teary tone: Shivani please shant ho jaao…

Shivani looked at him in tears: Pradyuman kaha hai humara Abhi mujhe uske paas jaana hai…

teri rah take ankhiya jane kaisa kaisa hoye jiya

teri rah take ankhiya jane kaisa kaisa hoye jiya

Salunkhe said in tension: Boss bhabhi ko sach batana hoga varna voh kabhi accept nahi kar payegi ( worriedly ) sadme me bhi jaa sakti hai iss wajah se…

ACP bite his inner lip to control bursting out in tears while Shivani was still asking everyone about her child, ACP in extreme pain just hugged her tightly…

ho dhire dhire aangan utre andhera

mera deep kaha dhalke suraj kare ishara

chanda tu hai kaha mere chanda tu hai kaha

Shivani resisting in the hug said in a confused-teary tone: ACP sahab hua kya hai aap aise…

She stops in the mid noticing the picture in Ajeet's hand, she instantly separated herself with a jerk and went towards Ajeet saying in a worried tone: Ajeet yeh Abhi ki photo haina haan…

Ajeet bewildered and looked at everyone in tension but before he hides the photograph, Shivani grabbed it from his hand but seeing the picture, she stood standstill-shocked-blank and what not!

Everyone looked at her in the scare, she wasn't even recovered fully, it was the first time she has come to consciousness after 36 hours of fighting for her life just to meet her child but now…

Shivani shaking her head lost: Na..nahi yeh

ACP kept a hand on her shoulder and initiated in tears: Shi

Before he even completes the call of her name, she turned unconscious leaving her body towards ACP who instantly held her in panic. Everyone shocked and Ajeet instantly ran to call the doctor…

Flashback Over;

ACP in tears knelt down and just hugged her tightly…

Shivani came to the present feeling the same warm arms around her…she looked at him with a fully flushed-out face and jerked herself out of his arms…

Shivani in hurt-anger-teary tone: Ab kyu humdardi ho rahi hai aapko mujhse…itni badi baat nahi batayi mujhe…( in crying ) mera Abhi v..voh mere paas tha itne samay firr bhi mei pehchan nahi paayi apne bachche ko… mera bachcha itne samay dur raha apni maa se aur ek a..anaath ki zindagi guzari apne maa-baap ke hote hue bhi ( hide her face in palms crying badly)

ACP looked at her in extreme hurt while his heart pinching several times in a second seeing her in this condition…

ACP in tears held her hands in both hands and said in a moist tone: Meri baat toh suno Shivani mein ( helplessly ) mein bahot majboor tha chahke bhi tumhe nahi bata paya…dar raha tha ki tum kya karogi…

Shivani interrupted in an angry-moist tone: Kya karti mein ( in painful-teary tone ) apne bachche ko gale lag ke batati ki uski maa na kaise guzare hai itne saal uske bina

ACP in an injured smile: Isliye nahi bataya meine Shivani tumhe ( Shivani looked at him in the confused-shock state while he continued in painful-low tone ) Abhi ko na..nafrat hai apne maa-baap se

Shivani stunned at her place and jerking her hands from his grip stood up instantly: Ye..yeh kya keh rahe hai aap haan ( shook her head ) Abhi nafrat nahi kar sakta humse…

Instances got mingled up in her thoughts while some lines echoing loudly…

The soothing-smiling face: Aapse mil ke zindagi me peheli baar maloom chala ki maa kaisi hoti hai…

The moment he held her hand and whispered the soothing word " maa " to her…

The moment she took her baby in her arms for the first time…

The concerned-advice of her gynecologist-friend: Shivani this pregnancy could be fatal for you…

The worried voice of her spouse: Shivani mein tumhari health ke saath risk nahi le sakta…tum please abor

Her determined-firm interruption: Mein apne bachche ko duniya me lekar aaungi…chahe mujhe koi bhi kimat chukani pade uske liye.

The innocent heart-shattering question: Maa kya mein sachme koi rishta deserve nahi karta apni life me ?

She jerked her head into the present world when felt her brain couldn't take any more of it…

Shivani in moist tone: Kitna dukh saha hai mere bachche ne ( in teary tone ) par ab aur nahi…

She walked forward to leave the room when instantly ACP held her hand and blocked the way

Shivani in tears: Kyu rok rahe hai mujhe aap…mujhe mere Abhi ke paas jaana hai…

ACP in firm-moist tone: Shivani tum nahi bata sakti Abhi ko sach…

Shivani in shock-anger: Kyu nahi bata sakti…aap apne bachche ko apna naam nahi dena chahte kya

ACP in tears: Aisa ho sakta hai kya Shivani mein apne bachche ke saath apna naam na jodna chahu ( Shivani looked at him in tears and pain while he continued in a sad-painful tone ) lekin yeh shayad chahke bhi sach nahi ho sakta…Aditya aur Apoorv ko maloom hai yeh sach ( Shivani shock ) Aditya ne baato baato me pucha bhi tha Abhi se lekin usne yeh khud bola hai Shivani ki voh apne maa-baap ka chehra dekhna bhi nahi chahega…

Shivani felt her heart totally shattered at the place thinking her Abhi wouldn't see her face…

Shivani shockingly: Me..mera Abhi aisa

ACP held her hand: Shivani sachme hum

He stops in mid as Shivani had hugged him tightly crying painfully...

Shivani in crying: ACP sahab aisa nahi ho sakta h..humara Abhi humse nafrat ( and she just burst out in bitter cry while ACP with teary eyes and silent crying kept rubbing her head )

ACP kissed her head softly saying in a teary tone: Mein tumhe iss takleef se bachana chahta tha Shivani iss liye nahi bata raha tha tumhe ( in pain ) peechle teen dino se mein yeh dard seh raha hu apne bachche ke saath hoke bhi aise ji raha hu…( in teary tone ) mujhe to kabhi usse Dad sunn ne ko bhi nahi milega…

Shivani while crying: I am sorry Pradyuman meine aapko galat samjha…mujhe kuch

ACP interrupted in pain: Mujhe maloom hai Shivani itna bada sach aise maloom chalna kaisa hota hai ( softly separated her and wiped her teary face ) par hum yeh Abhi ko nahi bata sakte Shivani voh kahi hume chodd ke na chala jaaye…

Shivani in tears and fear: Nahi ACP sahab mei..mein uske bina nahi ji sakti…( in pain and tears ) agar aisa hai toh hum kabhi use nahi pata chalne denge

ACP nodded in tears and just wrapped her in a consoling and soothing hug.

The night flew away quickly and a new hope-filled morning made its way. But it remains undistinguished for the parents in extreme pain who just spent the whole night in tears but when the sleep took them in their shell while crying, they don't know.

ACP woke up feeling the sun rays and found himself sitting on the couch, he immediately looked around and sighed sadly seeing Shivani's face having marks of dry tears…

He got up silently to not disturb her already restless sleep and caringly covered her with a blanket before going for freshening up.

After a few minutes, he returned and found Shivani awake while sitting lost. He sighed and went to her…

ACP in a soft tone: Shivani…

She looked at him with lifeless eyes whose heart was really crying seeing her like this…

ACP sat beside her saying softly: Shivani please hume sambhalna hoga na apne aap ko…abhi agar Abhijeet aa gaya to voh kitna pareshan hoga tumhe aise dekh ke haina…

Shivani nodded lostly and went for freshening up while ACP just sighed painfully…

After some time, Shivani got ready looking much more composed but still her eyes were red and puffy. They went out of the room when saw Abhijeet descending from the stairs. Shivani's eyes immediately filled with tears which she instantly wiped off while ACP sighed painfully seeing her in this state…

Abhijeet in a refreshing smile wished them morning to too wished back trying hard to compose themselves…

Abhijeet in concern noticing the red eyes of Shivani: Maa aapki aankhe itni zyada lal kyu ho rahi hai ?

Shivani really felt to burst out seeing his concern but controlled and answered in a small-injured smile: Kuch nahi beta bass aise hi ho gayi hongi thodi…

Abhijeet nodded in no: Aapki tabeeyat mujhe theek nahi lag rahi bilkul ( held her hand ) aap chaliye room me rest kijiye…

Shivani smiled lovingly hiding the tears: Nahi beta hum

Abhijeet interrupted in worry feeling her hand: Maa aapko fever lag raha hai aap chaliye ander jaldi…

He took her inside despite her protest while ACP smiled lovingly at both…

ACP ( pov ) : Tum itne achche kyu ho Abhi jo tumhe khone se itna darr lagta hai…

He sighed sadly and just then his phone rang. He glanced at the id to be of Aditya, he smiled slightly and received the phone…After some general talks, he felt Aditya hesitant to talk…

ACP in suspicion: Kya hua hai Adi tum itne pareshan kyu lag rahe ho

Aditya in low tone: Sir darasal voh aapka aur Abhi ka sach baaki sabko bhi pata chal gaya ( ACP shocked )

ACP shockingly: Kya keh rahe ho Aditya tum haan…aise toh sabko maloom chal jayega

Aditya: I am sorry sir lekin kal mein aur dad baat kar rahe the tabhi saare dost bhi aa gaye aur unhone sun liya ( feeling silence from other side said assuringly ) chinta matt kijiye sir meine sabse promises liye hai koi kuch nahi bataega…

ACP though tensed but smiled hearing promises: Dhyan rakhna bass Adi yeh baat Abhi ko nahi pata chalni chahiye ( in low tone ) Shivani ko bhi maloom chal gayi hai

Aditya sadly: Aunty bahot pareshan ho gayi hongi na sir…

ACP smiled sadly: Hmm par ab theek hai…bass yeh baat Abhi ko na pata chale

Aditya trying: Sir ek baar hum

ACP interrupted: Aditya please aur baat nahi chahiye mujhe ispe aur Abhi ko yeh bilkul bhi nahi pata chalni chahiye…

Aditya sighed: Theek hai sir nahi pata chalega Abhi ko ( confidently ) meine sabke mom-dad ki kasam li hai…

ACP laughed lightly: Yeh to achcha kiya bhai tumne ( ruefully lost tone ) kam se kam unke mom-dad itne badnaseeb toh nahi jo unke bachche unse nafrat kare…

Aditya in protest: Sir aap

But before he continues ACP cut the call while Aditya easily realized the low crying voice before disconnecting…

The week flew away and the day arrived when they were returning to Mumbai…

In Mumbai;

Abhi's and Adi's families were departing from the airport, ACP's and Apoorv's driver were already waiting for them and they bid the final byes when,

Apoorv in concern: Abhi beta please kuch din duty matt join karna ( Abhijeet shocked while he added while glaring at ACP ) ACP sahab ne tumhari baato me aake discharge to leliya ( annoyed ) aur Vishesh ke saamne mujhe aage kardiya… ( ACP smiled sheepishly while everyone too smiled ) aur Vishesh ne dosti ko dekhke ha bol diya lekin sirf iss gurantee pe ki tum immediate duty nahi join karoge…

Abhijeet annoyed: Uncle but mein theek hu bilkul…

ACP strictly: Apoorv sahi keh rahe hai Abhijeet… traveling ke baad ek baar yaha check-up hoga uske baad hi tum bureau join karoge

Abhijeet totally annoyed: Sir yeh galat baat hai mein jaaunga bureau…

Before anyone speaks anything Aditya pulled Abhi a bit away and whispered something in his ears for which Abhi got angry and disappointed resulting he hit a punch on Adi's arm and came back…

Abhijeet frowning and said in irritation: Mein nahi jaunga bureau tests se pehele…

He just stamped his feet in anger and went away glaring at Adi once while everyone shocked for a while because of that secret convo but Aditya smiled at him…

Apoorv surprisingly: Yeh sachme nahi jayega…

Aditya in silent smile: Shart laga lijiye Dad nahi jayega…

ACP in surprise: Tumne aisa kya bol diya Adi jo yeh janab itne araam se maan gaye

Aditya meaningfully: Kasam dedi sir aazma lijiyega chahe toh…

He too went from there leaving ACP silent at his place as he understood that Adi last time tried to persuade him to reveal the truth. Everyone bidding byes went towards their cars…

Near ACP's car,

ACP and Shivani came and saw Abhi had already kept their luggage in the car but not his…

ACP in confusion: Abhi apna bag kyu nahi rakha hai car me ?

Abhijeet smiled: Sir mein zara apne ghar ko bhi dekhke aau

Both shocked with this, as till now at least he was staying with them but now it's the limit for them to compose themselves…

Shivani immediately: Apne ghar ka kya matlab hai tumhara… humara ghar tumhara nahi hai kya haan

Abhijeet confused: Aisa nahi hai maa voh to mein…

Shivani interrupted in hope: To chalo na humare saath hi please…

Abhijeet immediately: Maa please aap aise matt boliye mein chalta hu na…mein to aise hi keh raha tha ki kaafi time se vaha gaya nahi to zara dekh ke aau

Shivani held his hand: Koi zaroorat nahi hai chalo ( to driver ) Raghu iska bag rakh dena

Raghu nodded and picked the bag while ACP smiled soothingly as he knows that maximum by the next week Abhi's allotted home which was even earlier just for name-sake would now be permanently deserted and Abhi would be shifted to "His Own Home" as Shivani was trying this earlier too yet wasn't able to convince but now she would anyhow convince him and he knows she is completely capable for it. He shook his head in a smile and sat in the car which drove off towards their home.

Otherside at CID bureau;

DCP in annoyance: Yeh ACP pata nahi kya basne gaya hai London me ( jerked his head ) upar se yaha kaam saara mujhe karna pad raha hai

Pankaj whispered to the team which was standing a bit far: ACP sahab pakka hichkiyo se pareshan ho gaye honge DCP sahab ki wajah se…

Everyone smiled and Freddy whispered: Aur Abhijeet sir bhi hichkiyo se pareshan ho rahe honge Daya sir ki wajah se…

Pankaj in a bit excitement: Ha hamesha Abhijeet sir hi unka filework karte hai unke peeche se toh pareshan ho gaye sir…he started laughing when stopped seeing Daya glaring at him while everyone too controlled their laugh somehow…

Daya jerked his head: Khud gaya upar se yeh DCP ko aur chodd gaya…

All smiled just then the irritated voice of most irritating person interrupted them…

DCP in irritation: Daya uss Salunkhe ne report bheji ya nahi

Daya made an annoyed face and turned towards him in a fake smile: Jii sir bhejwa di

DCP sarcastically: To mahurat nikalwane pe doge mujhe voh file…

Daya surprised: Sir aap forensic report padhenge…voh samjh nahi aayegi aise

DCP in attitude: Mein tumhare uss ACP jaisa nahi hu samjhe…aisi kaunsi cheez hai mujhe samjh na aaye...tum bhi dekhna ab kaise padhte hai report ( forwarded hand ) laao jaldi do bahot time pass karte ho tum log…

Everyone sighed in frustration upon him while Daya nodding in disappointment gave him the file who grabbed it proudly and started reading…

But as he read, his head started spinning and file slipped from his hand and he stumbled holding his head while everyone shocked…
